74% INCREASE IN ANTI SEMTIIC ACT IN 2018

USPA NEWS - The 74% increase in anti-Semitic acts in 2018, announced by the Minister of the Interior, reflects a disturbing liberation from anti-Jewish hatred. Portraits of Simone Veil desecrated with swastikas, grove in memory of vandalized Ilan Halimi, tag JUDEN on a shop window in Paris ... the last days alone testify to the banalization and violence of anti-Semitism in France in 2019.
The CRIF recalls that these statistics do not include acts that did not lead to a complaint, or anti-Semitic remarks on the Internet. They therefore only very partially reflect the reality of the "everyday anti-Semitism" facing the Jewish French.President Francis Kalifat calls for a "national leap against anti-Semitism." He recalls that beyond being a threat to Jews, anti-Semitism is a signal of the democratic weakening of our country. On the eve of the anniversary of the assassination of Ilan Halimi, Crif is hoping for a welcome leap from French society to break the wall of indifference that surrounds anti-Semitism.
